  • Emotion regulation and felt security in different-gender romantic relationship interactions: Two dyadic, observational studies

    Open AccessEmma M Marshall, Susan Chesterman et al.ARTICLEEmotion2025

    Statelike felt security can change during romantic relationship conflict when the attachment relationship is threatened. According to theorizing, this change should be associated with the romantic partners' emotion regulation. The current research leverages two observational studies involving romantic couples (conducted in 2017 and 2018-2019) to test this underexplored aspect of attachment theory. We hypothesized that higher observer-rated actor …

  • Positive crossover: Parent perceived partner responsiveness and health of youth with asthma

    Open AccessSabrina J Bierstetel, Allison K Farrell et al.ARTICLEPersonal Relationships2023References: 9

    Romantic relationship functioning has implications that extend beyond the romantic dyad. This study tests whether a key positive aspect of relationships, perceived partner responsiveness , can cross over from parents' romantic relationships to children's health and well‐being via parenting behavior. In a sample of 112 youth with asthma and their primary caregivers, when caregivers perceived higher partner responsiveness in their romantic relation…

  • Good Theories in Need of Better Data: Combining Clinical and Social Psychological Approaches to Study the Mechanisms Linking Relationships and Health

    Open AccessAllison K Farrell, Sarah C E Stanton et al.ARTICLEPerspectives on Psychological…2022

    The study of intimate relationships and health is a fast-growing discipline with numerous well-developed theories, many of which outline specific interpersonal behaviors and psychological pathways that may give rise to good or poor health. In this article, we argue that the study of relationships and health can move toward interrogating these mechanisms with greater precision and detail, but doing so will require a shift in the nature of commonly…

  • Associations between language style matching and relationship commitment and satisfaction: An integrative data analysis

    Open AccessSabrina J Bierstetel, Allison K Farrell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2020Cited by: 4References: 35

    Language style matching (LSM) refers to similarity in function word use between two people during a conversation. Previous research has shown that LSM predicts romantic relationship stability, but it remains unknown why LSM is associated with stability. Across five studies from five different labs, we aimed to identify links between LSM and two relationship perceptions strongly associated with stability: commitment and satisfaction. Based on prio…

  • Perceived Partner Responsiveness, Daily Negative Affect Reactivity, and All-Cause Mortality: A 20-Year Longitudinal Study

    Sarah C E Stanton, Emre Selcuk et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2019

    OBJECTIVE: This study tested longitudinal associations between absolute levels of perceived partner responsiveness (PPR; how much people perceive that their romantic partners understand, care for, and appreciate them), daily negative affect reactivity and positive affect reactivity, and all-cause mortality in a sample of 1,208 adults for three waves of data collection spanning 20 years. We also tested whether longitudinal changes in PPR predicted…

  • Power and social influence in relationships.

    Jeffry A Simpson, Allison K Farrell et al.CHAPTERAPA Handbook of Personality and…2015

    As the philosopher Bertrand Russell observed, power plays a central role in everyday social interactions, and it serves as an organizing principle in the social and behavioral sciences (Reis, Collins, & Berscheid, 2000). Given its paramount importance, one might expect power would hold a privileged place in the field of social psychology and particularly in the study of relationships. Although there are major theoretical statements on what power …

  • The relationship power inventory: Development and validation

    Open AccessAllison K Farrell, Jeffry A Simpson et al.ARTICLEPersonal Relationships2015

    Power is a central concept in relationships, yet existing self‐report measures of relationship power are not well validated and do not assess all aspects of power. To address this, we developed the Relationship Power Inventory ( RPI ), a self‐report measure of power for romantic partners. In Study 1, we identified the most important decision‐making domains in romantic relationships. In Study 2, we generated an item pool assessing relationship pow…
